As anyone who subscribes to cable television knows, DIY stands for do-it-yourself.  The phrase is frequently heard on the more than two dozen cable shows designed to teach ordinary Americans how to tackle home improvements.   The pattern of these shows is similar:  combine the sweat equity of an average hard-working couple with a team of [...]]]></description>

It’s week two of the new decade and we still haven’t figured out whether it’s “two thousand and ten” or “twenty-ten”.  That’s the bad news.  The good news is that the “decade in review” news pieces that inevitably focus on celebrity deaths, scandals, and divorces have already started to fade.
While such retrospectives often do little [...]]]></description>

There is an old cliché that originated in the 19th century that says “A man who represents himself has a fool for a client”.  It is generally true that representing yourself in a court proceeding is not a good idea for a variety of reasons which I won’t go into here.
But what do you [...]]]></description>

“You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.”  As any viewer of Law and Order knows, this Miranda warning is given to criminal suspects informing them of their right to a lawyer.
